Chapter 1702 From prosperity to decline
"General."
When Xiao Shenghe's order was put into use, someone immediately said: "There are also many people from the Guzha tribe on the side of the prince. And this time we failed, should we go there in person to ensure safety?"
Xiao Shenghe refused without thinking.
"We must not leave the crescent moon."
Seeing that the generals under his command looked different, Xiao Shenghe said: "Do you think that the general is afraid of the prince's punishment, so he hurried here and didn't dare to go?"
No one speaks.
But sometimes, silence itself is an attitude.
"Although the Qin army was let go this time, it was enough to find out the rebellion of the Guzha tribe to overcome the merits."
Xiao Shenghe said helplessly: "So this general is not worried about the prince's reproach, but... just in case."
Just in case something, Xiao Shenghe didn't say anything.
Smarter people can naturally think that their faces have changed.
What Xiao Shenghe didn't say in his heart was that this rebellion of the Guzha tribe was actually a landmark incident in which the Liao army declined from prosperity. The current dilemma and disadvantages of the Liao army have been exposed.
There were constant snowstorms, and the environment was not suitable for combat in the Liao army, which was mainly cavalry-based army.
After insufficient logistics and the materials and food that depend on for survival were destroyed, the logistics of the Liao army had become an unsolvable stubborn disease. This is why Yelu Shenxuan said that there was no way out. Now the only way out for the Liao army to retreat is to completely capture the entire Ganzhou and Shaanxi, and then survive with the supplies from Ganzhou and Shaanxi. Otherwise, if it is delayed, it will not take many days for the Liao army to starve to death in the heavy snow.
The people's hearts were dispersed. It has been half a year since the Liao army stationed its troops outside the Crescent Pass to the present. For half a year, the Liao army has been fighting at high intensity for most of the time. The Liao army is also a human being, not iron-killed, and will be exhausted. What's more, this continuous combat time has exceeded any previous battle. The cavalry characteristics of the Liao army determine that they cannot fight protracted wars and must fight quickly and maneuver at high speed. Therefore, the Liao army has always been like the wind, but now, they have been trapped here for more than half a year, and people's hearts will be able to change.
The right time, place, people and all were not in the Liao army. Xiao Shenghe had already had a premonition that it was very likely to defeat Gansu and Shaanxi this time.
If this is true, this will be a major stain on Yelu Shenxuan's political career, and it will be the beginning of the collapse of his rule in the Liao Kingdom.
So he could only guard the Crescent Pass. Once the worst case happens, at least if he keeps the Crescent Pass, Yelu Shenxuan will still make great achievements.
Xiao Shenghe's thoughts were thorough and ran ahead of most people, and no one thought so far as he thought.
And it is precisely because of the fact that Xiao Shenghe is more pessimistic than others.
At the moment, the Qin army seemed in a mess, and was chased by the Liao army like a dog that was strayed from a family. However, the disadvantages of the Liao army were revealed. As the increasingly serious, the Qin army would sooner or later rebound. After all, Ganzhou and Shaanxi are still Ganzhou and Shaanxi. The Qin army, with the entire Qin Empire as its backing, will immediately recover.
In this way, as one rises and the other goes down, he is really not optimistic about the subsequent war.
"Listen to me."
Xiao Shenghe gritted his teeth and said, "I will bear all responsibilities by myself."
Xiao Shenghe said this to this point, and others had no objection and took the order to continue working.
At this time, dozens of miles away from the Crescent Pass, after a sudden march, he threw away the Liao army that was chasing out. Zhao Tailai, Su Pingbei and others were completely relieved.
